Morphological Changes and Alterations in Erosion–Accretion Patterns in a Semiarid Brazilian River
Flow regulation by the Castanhão Dam significantly altered discharge dynamics and reduced sediment transport in the Jaguaribe River. Long‐term analysis (1958–2025) reveals attenuated flood peaks, decreased channel migration and progressive downstream stabilisation, highlighting persistent geomorphic adjustments in a regulated semiarid fluvial system ...

Proximate Climate Drivers of Beaver Pond Occupancy and Range Expansion in Arctic Alaska
To understand why beavers are colonizing the Arctic, we evaluated which climate drivers underpin beaver pond dynamics. Warm Junes, mild winters, green summers, and wet springs facilitate pond establishment. Rapid improvement in these conditions across recent decades provides mechanistic support that climate change is driving beaver colonization of the ...

Using a dataset that spans more than 50 years, we found that northern map turtles (Graptemys geographica) – an ectothermic species with temperature‐dependent sex determination – exhibited faster somatic growth rates, altered thermoregulatory behaviors, and a female‐biased sex ratio in recent years which were characterized by warmer, longer growing ...

Thermal Regime Dynamics in a Karst Watershed Influenced by Groundwater and Urbanization
This study investigates how groundwater and urban development shape stream temperature patterns in the karstic Spring Creek watershed of central Pennsylvania, USA. Using high‐resolution monitoring, we found that groundwater inputs buffer temperature in some streams, while urbanised sub‐catchments experience extreme thermal surges due to heated runoff ...

Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain
ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...
